I would really love to visit this pond - seems like a wonderful place. More gorgeous shots here - all of them are awesome. Great job workin the low angle, it made for some really nice bg's, and great perspective on the bird.
Kristy............simply splendid my friend You know I love this type of shooting from you, I gotta think you are grinnin' ear to ear behind that viewfinder when you shoot these. What a setup buddy, smokin'! Love #2
Great shots Kirk my friend! I can see how you position yourself to get the shots ... Do you have a mat or go dirty up like some of us? Those strained muscles at the neck and the back need deep-tissue massage ... All are awesome, but #3 is top for me with great eyes contact and the mud droplets.
Kirk, they look all great but the BG and water action in #2 makes that my favorite.
As a user of the same lens with 1.4TC I really appreciate you leave the exif intact. Thanks.
